How to draw an line chart starting at column 1
 
Hello,

I want to draw a line chart that looks like the following

| +
| +
| +
| +
| +
|________
| | | |
1 2 3 4

How can I do that? It always looks like that:

| +
| +
| +
| +
| +
|________
| | | |
1 2 3 4

Hi,

Double click the x axis and on the scale tab uncheck the "Value (Y) axis
crosses between categories".

Cheers
Andy

You have made a Line chart when you seem to need an XY chart

Hello Andy,

if I uncheck "Value (Y) axis crosses between categories", then I get the
following
line chart:

| +
| +
| +
+
|________
| | | |
1 2 3 4

But I want the line chart to start at "2".

Hello Bernard,

thanks. Your tip works as expected.
I've got one additional wish. I want the first label to disappear.
So the chart looks like this:

| +
| +
| +
| +
| +
|________
| | |
2 3 4

Is this possible?

Hi,

Then as Bernard pointed out you need to use the XY scatter chart and
then Set the scales Min value to 2.
